Aidilfitri Flavour
September 16th, 2007 FarisToday I am totally out of ideas. It’s funny actually when you’ve got nothing to blog. I was at home for the entire day doing nothing but sleep. Ahh, weekends are meant to be sleeping day LOL. And now I am squeezing my brain so hard to bring out anything from my head just for the sake of my blog. I try so hard to write everyday and not to miss even one day. The thing is now, my brain is not functioning. I can’t think of anything to blog.
Well, let me try this one. I dig up my brother’s hard drive and apparently I found some photos which I sent him not so long ago when I was in Malaysia. It’s Raya photos! It reminds me of my kampung in Labok, Machang, Kelantan. The place where I was born. I don’t remember which year these photos belong to but I reckon it isn’t that long. Last 2 years if I’m not mistaken.

I’m gonna make sure this year, I will have loads of raya photos to be posted on my blog LOL. Don’t know how is it going to look like. We normally hear and see community in Malaysia do Aidilfitri prayers only once at a time. You won’t hear that in the UK ‘coz it is completely different over here. In here, they have to do like 7 to 8 times because there are too many people coming to the mosque to do the prayers. Logically, yes it is going to be overflow considering there’s only a few mosques available and you wanna keep the whole Muslim in the UK in one mosque??? That is totally ridiculous and impossible.

I don’t think there will be “kuih raya” available here. There’s no possibility at all. I mean, you can’t just go to the market and buy it. I am just going to imagine those “kuih raya” served on the table massively back in my hometown. And during open house, again there will be thousand of foods ready on the table! How can I resist all these when it remains alive in my head all the time. Sigh.

However, I am grateful to be given an opportunity to at least feel the taste of Aidilfitri in here. And it makes me appreciate of what I had before. I know when I go back someday, I’m gonna all these memories…
Love,
Faris
